Impacts Of Design On Environment And Society
Environment
Aircraft manufacturing has adverse effects on the environment. Factories inevitably emit dangerous pollutants. The plane also emits greenhouse gases in flight, in the same manner as cars. This negatively impacts the environment. Some manufacturing companies, such as Airbus and Boeing are trying to minimise aircraft’s ecological footprint.
Another negative point is the noise produced. Aircraft are extremely loud and can disturb the world below.
Society
I have split societal impacts into economics and people.
Economical impacts of air travel are positive. 29 million jobs per year are a result of air travel. This due to direct employment by airlines, as well as manufacturing of planes and their supporting technology, and the supply of goods, services and tourism. Airlines supply goods and services between countries, heightening competition around the globe. Air travel promotes investment in infrastructure for transport, especially connecting airports. Airplanes also facilitate collaboration between companies. This produces innovation. Tourism is also a major business, which is greatly supported by air
